Sports Interaction
Review

8.6/
10

With a clean user interface and the ability to bet on everything from NFL and NBA to eSports and politics, it's very clear that Sports Interaction takes their business very seriously. That's probably why they were the first online sportsbook licensed in Canada! In this Sports Interaction online review, we cover whether or not the site still has what it takes to compete in 2018

From a competitive blackjack player and part time croupier in her youth to a seasoned online gamer and reviewer today, Tracy knows what players want, and scouts out the best bonuses and promos around.

Sports Interaction
Review Summary

Licensed and regulated in both Canada and Jersey, Sports
Interaction seems like it should be an obvious choice
for North American punters. Unfortunately, however,
they're currently unable to accept American players due
to the dubious legal position of online gambling in the
USA.

A big part of our Sports Interaction sportsbook review
will therefore focus on whether or not the site remains
suitable for those elsewhere.

Software and Playability

Using a sportsbook can be complicated, so it's vital
that good sports betting sites offer bets in a way
that's easy for beginners to understand.

Fortunately, Sports Interaction does just that. As well
as offering tons of different bets – more on these
below – they show you at a glance on your bet card
what you stand to make if your bets are successful.

Being able to pick between decimal, fractional and
American odds is a nice touch that will allow newbies
(and oldies!) to place bets in whichever way is most
comfortable to them, and make the best of those juicy
sports betting tips.

Banking Options

A healthy range of deposit and withdrawal options is
vital for any truly international sportsbook to
succeed in 2018.

Again we're glad to say that, for the purposes of this
Sports Interaction review, the site more or less lives
up to that need. Some of their deposit options
include:

Entropay

Credit/debit card

InstaDebit

iDebit

UseMyFunds

Skrill

Swiff

Check

Things are little more limited when it comes to
withdrawing your winnings though, with players only able
to use wire transfer (1 to 2 days), InstaDebit (1 to 2
days) or check (up to 28 days) to cash out at the
sportsbook. That's not a huge problem but might be a
little annoying if you're not used to using any of those
methods for withdrawal.

It seems like they may be adding new payment methods all
the time – their website mentions using EcoCard
for making withdrawals, which seems to have been added
in 2018 – but they don't have a full
list of all their banking options within easy reach on
their main site.

Security and Fair Play

As well as being licensed in both Canada and Jersey,
Sports Interaction also publishes information about
their payout percentages.

The latter is, of course, more relevant to their casino
section than their sportsbook – the payout
percentage of a sportsbook depends, of course, primarily
on the bets customers make.

But, in terms of security, any Sports Interaction
sportsbook review has to be pretty favourable as well
– as well as the badge displaying that the site
uses Norton security to protect users, and the fact that
they encrypt data transfers, they also provide evidence
of their positive Gaming Associates assessment.

Licensed and Regulated

Has licenses from the
Kahnawake Gaming Commission and Jersey Gambling
Commission.

Independently Audited

Publishes details of GLI
payout calculations.

Verified Secure

The site is secured and
verified on important pages by Symantec.

Casino and Poker

Slots fans will feel right home hitting the site's
collection of 50+ slots, including the ever popular
Marvel slots range.

No review of this site would be complete without
including a Sports Interaction casino review, as there's
also a Playtech and Betsoft powered casino to visit
should you decide to take a break from the sports
betting odds and stats.

With 8 table games and 8 card games (at the time of
writing), there are more comprehensive casino offerings
out there in 2018 to be sure but that's
probably to be expected given that Sports Interaction
is, primarily, a sportsbook.

We don't intend to veer off into a full Sports
Interaction poker review, but we will say that the
ability to play Omaha, Texas Hold 'Em, Six Plus Hold 'Em
and Omaha Hi-Lo is a nice touch for any poker fans who
happen to find their way to the site.

Compatibility

Being able to bet or play casino games on the move is
increasingly important to cash gamblers
in 2018, and Sports Interaction steps
up to the plate.

Our Sports Interaction mobile review HAS to be very
positive, simply because they offer both their trademark
Sports Interaction sports betting and a
range of casino games (including table games and slots)
on a mobile responsive site for users to enjoy on
iPhone, iPad, Nokia Lumix, Samsung Galaxy or even
tablets like the Fire and the Surface Pro.

That means there's no need to download anything and, as
long as you have internet access, you can place wagers
and hit the slots or tables on whatever device you want
to use.

Available Platforms

Bonuses and Promotions

Casinos and sportsbooks are increasingly offering
fantastic welcome bonuses to attract new
players.Unfortunately, this is one area in
which Sports Interaction sports betting falls a
little flat.

Poker fans can double their first deposit, up to $600,
when signing up to hit the tables but otherwise there's
not much else to enjoy in terms of bonuses or promotions
at Sports Interaction.

Some Sports Interaction online review content talks about
100% match bonuses being available in the sportbook and
casino sections of their website, but that certainly
doesn't seem to be the case in our experience. In fact,
the best we can find is a 10% up to 100 CAD bonus
available on their website in 2018 and even
that's only available to players in Canada.

Customer Support

An extensive knowledge base and 24/7 telephone/email
support is available at Sports Interaction, but
there's no live chat to be found.

That's not necessarily the end of the world but, if the
time you have to make a decision on a bet is quickly
running out, you might find yourself wishing the site
offered live chat support.

The knowledge base is very thorough, however, and allows
potential customers to answer probably 90% of the
questions they would have without needing to get in
touch with the support team. Obviously this also means
that the support team has more time to deal with other
queries.

Conclusion

With its inability to offer new accounts to customers
in the USA, and various other countries, things
aren't perfect at Sports Interaction. Review sites
sometimes claim that it's a bit of a relic of times
gone by but, if you can overlook the relative lack
of any welcome bonuses or promotions, we think it's
actually a pretty decent place to place a few enjoy
putting your sports betting strategy and skills to
work!
